Doro ip700wifi WLAN IEEE 802.11b VoiP Handset Released

Swedish company Doro have announced the immediate availability of their new Doro ip700wifi handset which allows users to make VoiP calls over their existing broadband and other Wi-Fi networks thanks to its integrated WLAN as well as its support for IEEE 802.11b whilst also offering Comfort Noise Generation, Voice Activity Detection and Echo Cancellation to ensure top notch sound quality.

Doro’s Press Release:

The slim, modern design of the new Doro ip700wifi is the perfect VoIP telephone for people wanting to make simple calls at low cost over the existing broadband network. The new telephone is also an excellent tool for both companies and private individuals who travel a lot because it can be used at Wi-Fi hot-spots around the world – at hotels, restaurants and airports.

The new Doro ip700wifi allows the user to make ip calls without a computer. It looks like an ordinary mobile phone but is equipped with WLAN and therefore can be connected directly to an available Wi-Fi network. For users this means it is possible to make calls simply and cheaply from almost anywhere in the world – provided there is access to a wireless network and that they are registered to a Voip service (either an operator or a service internal to their company).

“Wi-Fi networks are now available in many places and the technology is simple and reliable. The best thing is that our new ip700wifi telephone is both a smart solution for companies, but also ideal as a home telephone, irrespective of whether you’re at home or not,” says Jerome Arnaud, CEO of Doro.

The Doro ip700wifi is based on the latest data and voice transfer technology – SIP 2.0. The telephone can support several SIP accounts, making it possible to use both home and work numbers. In this way the user can receive and call from home or work, irrespective of where they are in the world.

The ip700wifi supports IEEE 802.11b for fast, reliable and encrypted communication over WLAN/Wi-Fi networks. Automatic logging on to WLAN, WLAN search via command shortcuts (Site Survey) and the possibility to save many WLAN network preferences are just a few of the practical functions of the ip700wifi. Moving between a number of different access points in the same SSID doesn’t affect the quality of the call.

In addition to the attractive design, the new ip700wifi comes equipped with colour display, vibration signal, more than 10 language options and a telephone directory with 100 numbers. The sound quality is exceptional thanks to Comfort Noise Generation, Voice Activity Detection and Echo Cancellation. All software in the telephone can be simply updated via Wi-Fi.

The Doro ip700wifi has just gone on sale for SEK1,400 – which is approximately $223/£119/€149 at the time of writing.
